Republic of Ireland v France: The best looking bets ahead of the last 16 encounter

Eric Lalor

Is there anything left in the tank?

We are sure you, like us, are still basking in the glory of that night in Lille the other night. The night Ireland stood up and sent the country into total euphoria.

There is a renewed confidence about Ireland now. Roy Keane, when asked about France said ‘Bring it on’.

Can we go and upset the hosts? Will it be revenge for THAT Henry handball? If you fancy it, you can get them at a whopping 9/1.

If you think it’ll be a repeat of Lille and we’ll win 1-0, you can get that at 14/1.

If you think our goose is cooked and we’ve shot our bolt, you can get the French to win at 4/9, but that represents no value at all.

The smart money would be on France winning and Dimitri Payet to score at anytime at 5/2. You might win a few quid, but how could you live with yourself?

Shane Long has been battered all tournament by naughty defenders and has yet to score in the tournament. If you fancy Tipp’s finest to score at any time and for Ireland to win, the odds there are a ridiculously enticing 20/1.
